Boolean (Yes/No) Fields

Learn about Boolean (Yes/No) fields in Noloco tables

Boolean fields hold True/False or Yes/No values and are excellent for indicating the status of a task. In forms, they can be displayed as a checkbox or a dropdown of Yes / No.

Display Options

• Checkbox The field appears as a checkable box that users can click to toggle between true and false

• Dropdown The field appears as a dropdown menu with "Yes" and "No" options

Use Cases

Boolean fields are perfect for:

• Task completion status (Done/Not Done)

• Feature toggles (Enabled/Disabled)

• Approval workflows (Approved/Pending)

• Subscription status (Active/Inactive)

• Availability indicators (Available/Unavailable)

• Permission flags (Public/Private)

Best Practices

• Use clear, descriptive field names that indicate what "true" means (e.g., "Is Active" rather than just "Status")

• Consider the default value - should new records start as true or false?

• Use checkboxes for quick toggling, dropdowns when you want to be more explicit about the choice

• Boolean fields work great in filters and conditional logic for workflows
